http://www.amazon.co...k/dp/B000PEQGMM (requires a gun... but well worth it.)this is really great stuff. goes on just as good as the oem....I remember when I did a couple of these... I went sofar asgetting rid of that stupid rubber trim on all the wheel wellsand I bondoed up the holes that held on the rubber trim...after shooting the whole bottom and wheel wells I put apiece of masking tape halfway in (where the rubber trimused to be) and sprayed a fake rubber trim with this stuff.there is also a product called "rocker schutz" which I believeis paintable... and is what is on the subies rockers.... I usually just scrape this stuff off clean... and then paintthe rocker with out it.... but you can by rocker shutz......Also another goodie... is 3m window weld...http://www3.3m.com/c...ler/output_html

it is a little pricey but fills holes pretty good..... or spots where you canweld rivet with this between the metal...(it aint going nowhere)(where gloves don't get this junk on you.. don't come off....as bad as pur-15 as a skin clingerI almost lost my subie... the wheel wells rotted out... andthe struts popped through....... make sure you wash thenout good... there are too many nooks and crannies in there....AND my subie is in the Hospice right now... the lowerpiece of the rear suspension rotted out .the tube the trailing arms are connected to............run a ton of water through there(the tube)

If you want to keep you car as long as you can...got to fight against the rust with preventative....measures........

Bah! I hate that stigma! Did you know that when I go to the store... I can only find Washington potatoes! And what's more, Where I live... I've never seen potato fields... they're all 6+ hours south of me!

I really made progress today, I fixed the driver side frame corner and POR'ed it. And I also fixed the broken welded nut which holds the lower bolt on the hoodlatch support, So I was then able to put the valance on and get it all buttoned up. Only thing I have left to do would be, putting the fenders back on ansd buy 3 or 4 more stainless bolts/washers as I don't have enough.

I also got a lot of footage today and some pictures. I will try to get more pics tomorrow.

Last night I got my new valance thanks to Marc and JoAnne up in Marshfeild! JoAnne is a blast to talk to and has some interesting stories

Hope you made the trip to Michigan with ease.

Cheers!

Yur welcome - glad to "help out".

trip TO michigan went fine - it is what happened after I got there that kind of sucked! popped a brake line on the ol dodge! for the front brakes of course!

but didnt take too long to fix and trip home went pretty well, too. just dog tired right now...pulled an all nighter to avoid traffic & get home. oh, and we think we might have a wheel bearing starting to go on the dodge now... where's my Subaru?!?! LOL

ok, so when do we get to see the pics of that super duper taiwanese front valance installed??????? Hmmmm??? I'm waiting....

Oh no! Damn dirty brake-lines! (Like Damn Dirty Apes)

I got the car all put together today, and looks awesome! I have some pictures which I need to upload and I have a new video on youtube which I'll post here. Next step is to take the car over to the paint shop and have then wet sand the inperfections out.
